Houston, Texas – Near-record to record-breaking high temperatures are expected across Southeast Texas today, followed by widespread dense fog tonight into Wednesday morning, according to the National Weather Service.
Forecasters said highs will climb into the upper 70s to mid-80s under humid conditions, approaching or exceeding daily records in some locations. A frontal boundary is expected to stall across the Brazos Valley and Piney Woods this afternoon, contributing to the unusually warm January temperatures.
Patchy sea fog is expected to linger over bays and nearshore waters today. Along the immediate coast, fog may remain locally dense at times, particularly during the early morning and evening hours.
According to the National Weather Service, conditions will change tonight as widespread dense fog develops across much of Southeast Texas. The stalled front will lead to a wide range of overnight low temperatures, with readings falling into the upper 40s to mid-50s north of the boundary and remaining in the low to mid-60s farther south.
Dense fog could significantly reduce visibility overnight and into Wednesday morning, creating hazardous travel conditions. Motorists are urged to slow down, use low-beam headlights, and allow extra time for morning commutes.
The forecast may be especially relevant to early-morning commuters, aviation operations, and marine interests across the Houston-Galveston region.
Residents are encouraged to monitor updates from weather.gov/hgx as conditions evolve.
